THE Editor of this collection wishes to furnish the reader with a portraiture of the state and circumstances of the county and city of Gloucester during the last great civil war. He is aware that the several pieces here brought together, being contemporary, must form the most pointed evidence of the condition of this part of the kingdom; and he has accordingly reprinted them with fidelity, abstaining from any interference with their air of originality by insertion of notes. Many obscurities will, however, be found in them, which, though well understood at the time when they were first published, seem now to need elucidation; and the histories and memoirs of that age, the journals of parliament, and the news-books, contain much important and interesting information, which will supply chasms, and illustrate what in these tracts is altogether omitted or imperfectly recorded. An historical introduction has, therefore, been formed by the help of such materials, derived from authentic sources, and in many instances, from documents of great rarity, chronologically blended with the substance of the several treatises contained in the body of this work: it follows the track marked out |
